IT IS NOVEL. ANYHOW.

The method of settling a primary election contest suggested by the chairman and secretary of the repub- lican county central committee pos sesses at least the charm of novelty
 We believe that never before has it been proposed that such a dispute as has arisen in the first ward should be left to a board of arbitration.
 We fail however to see how anything could be setued by such proposed commission. since it is stated in the sugges- ton. that the commission would have no power to compel the production of documentary evidence. by which alone the regularity or the election pro- ceedings could be determined. It is naturally. on such evidence. that is. the poll list placed side by side with the ballots that the contestants would mainly rely. This powerlessness of the proposed commission is pointed out in the reply to the suggestion by the officials of the protesting primary. who see little show for their white alley in the following condition set forth in the committees suggestion: but it the commission) shall be authorized to assume the negative of any mater ial fact asserted by either side unless that side produces evidence of its truth" Since all the assertions would have to be made by the contestants, while all the documentary evidence on which they would depend to prove their assertions is in the keeping of their

ILLINOIS THOUGHT WAVES.

There may be something in tele-
 pathy. after all It may have had
 much, and maybe everything to dc
 with the elections which were held in Illinois on Tuesday and which added twenty counties to the dry area to say
 nothing of numberless townships and villages.
 It may be the voters who brought about this result did not record their own normal will but were acting on mental suggestiOn-werei influenced by thought waves which swept over the state from the opening of the polls until the close
 IL had been announced that half million women of Illinois had for weeks been practicing the art of telepathy, with a view to employing it effectively on election day and it was predicted by them that the rush of thought waves would wash the face of the Sucker state clean of disfiguring dram shops.
 IL is only certain that something washed a large section of it clean. If il was not mental suggestion what was it? We can think of no more powerful influence than the concentrated effort of a half million feminine wills di- rected toward a certain object There was nothing unlawful or improper in the exercise of such an influence, pro- vidcd the thought currents were turned off when the polls closed and were not permitted to play after the counting of the ballots began. In that case, the mental suggestion of the ladies to the election boards would have amounted to hypnotism, which, though not expressly inhibited by the statutes, would have been reprehen- si5le But we are sure the ladies of Illinois would not have taken such an unfair advantage even of the Demon Rum. What they did to him on Tues day was plenty and then some.
