cHIcAeo's ELECTION FRAUDS.

ioht lhS ldClS coming TO our
knowledge we express serious doubts
whether there has been any honest
| general or city election in Chicago for
years past This is one of the state.
ments made in the report Of the spe.
clal grand jury which has been inves.
tlgat1ng frauds committed at the Aug.
ust primary in Chicago. The grand
jury gave striking evidence of its earn
estness in the attempt to purify the
ballot in Chicago by returning 179 in
dictments against offenders.
Some of the offenses found to have
been committed in recent elections
show the great need of reforming the
ballot in Chicago. Here are some of
the ways the grand jury found the law
had been violated in the past
Fraudulent registration leading 10
fraudulent voting.
Repeating by platoons OF men who
were voted first for one party and then
for other party candidates at the same
precinct
Voting names of absentees, nonresi-
dents, insane men and dead men.
Accepting false aflidavits on behalf
of disqualified voters known to the
judges to be so.
Numerous and flagrant perjuries to
enable voters to cast illegal votes.
Taking votes from nonregistered
voters without affidavits in support ,.f
such votes.
Fraudulently writing names in the
poll books and putting ballots in the
boxes to correspond.
Keeping on the registers names of
,~I II
clncts and voting them.
Voting the same name more than
once at the same precinct.
Disfranchising voters by permitting
their names to be voted by others.
Marking ballots after the boxes
were open
Handling voters ballots already
marked for certain candidates.
Marking ballots for voters against
their wishes and so putting ballots in
the ballot box.
lntimidating voters and compelling
them to vote for candidates against
their wishes
Permitting strangers and police Off
GERS to handle the ballots after the
boxes were opened so as to permit
fraudulent marking Of the ballots.
This crusade may meet with the
same fate as similar grand Jury in
vestgations in other cities There
has always been an inclination 70
take election frauds as a matter CT
course. Where such gross law viola
t1ons would not be countenanced in
other lines of activity, they have been
looked upon in a measure as necessary
evils in election matters and have
gone uncorrected in many instances.
Where the prosecutions must be Sc !
cured from the officials holding Offices
by virtue Of these frauds it has been
hard matter to bring an end to IL |
eGal elections. The recommendation
)f the grand jury for the enactment |
of law that would place every state !
park and county Office in Cook county I
lnder civil service" might go far TO-
ward the prevention of such evils. Chi
'ago has a chance to show whether il |
'eally cares to purify the ballot by |
ending vigorous aid in the prosecu-
ion OF the parties specifically charged
With election frauds by its grand jury.

The storm center will pass well to

lures Will continue to rise till about

in the next bulletin the kind OF wealth
er that will prevail for the first three
months of 1909. Amount of precipita-
ton in there three months will have
much to do with the 1909 crops EARLY
floods bring later drouths and the
reverse is true.
Electro magnetic Theory Of tho Tides.
Pass current OF electricity through
an iron rod. the rod pointing and the
current moving from you. Magnetism
VIII move toward you in a spiral turn
ins with the hands of clock. 1t is
we'll known fact that an iron rod
through which an electric current
passes attracts. A magnet attracts
where the electric current passes in or
out OF the magnet but at other parts
OF the magnet it repels. 1t is axi-
omatic that current OF electricity
tends to condense matters that is it
attracts toward the current while a
spiral of magnetism expands
Apply these experimental facts to
the tides. An electric current passes
from the center of every heavenly
body to and through and beyond every
other body. Strong currents pass from
the sun and moon to and through the
earth while spirals Of magnetism pass
at right angles in the opposite di-
rection. These magnetic spirals cause
the ocean waters to expand and the
electric current contracts the, waters
causing our tides.
This theory will account for the
facts that low tide is under the moon
and the high tides at right angles to
line running from the moon through
the earth. This new theory of the
tides has not before been announced.
Supporting it are the important facts
OF the right angle action in magnetism
II any facts do not agree with this
theory will be glad to hear of them.

u. s. Fleet at Rio.

Rio Jsneiro, Jan. 14.--Eyery officer
who could be spared from the American
fleet came ashore today and was greeted
at the landing stage by Rear Admiral
Alecsr, Brazilian Minister of Marine,
and his staff. Following formal addresses
Of welcome the party entered special
conveyauces and made tour of the city,
after which they went to Mount Corco-
Vado. There he Brazilian naval officers
and the Minister of Marine entertained
with al elaborate luncheon which served
the purpose Of making toe American
officers better known to their entertain
ers. While this was going on liberty
parties Of marines and sailors were being
entertained by the rank and file from
the Brazilian warships in the city
proper.
Admiral Evans is still suffering with
rheumatism, and is compelled to refuse
all invitations for entertainment. He
has designated Resr-Admiral Thomas
TO act in bis stead.
No foundation hiss been found for
the extraordinary rumor Sc on foot
that the Minister of Marine had been
informed japanese would try 10 blow
up one of the chips at anchor. Sill,
the fact remains that the Minister OF
Marine has designated special police
boats to patrol the roadslesd and all
boats are compelled to land their cccU-
pants under their direction.

THE question of good roads has been
taken up by the Travellers Protective
Association of Virginia, and it is hoped
good results may follow. Several bills
which aim to meet the needs Of the State
in this matter have already been intro
duced in the legislature and their passage
will bo urged by their respective
patrons.
One bill, which amends the existing
laws as to the convict road force, makes
it mandatory on the judges 10 sentence
certain classes of offenders to labor on
the highways. As matters now stand,
the court is allowed to use its own dis
erection 10 the matter. This means thai
many convicts Escape the ordeal.
A second measure provides that any
felon whose punishment is not to exceed
five years in the penitentiary shall be
made to labor on the rOsds instead q
going to prison. The law now in force
has twO-year limit.
In third bill the Highway Commits
sioner is authorized TO purchase certain
tools and machinery tor use BY the State
convict road force. The sum Of $50, 600
is appropriated for this purpose, Steam
rollers and sprinklers appear to be the
things most needed, and the bill provides
for the employment of competent in
spector to care for them. This road
making psraphernalis, CT course, is to
be moved from county to county.
The general appropriation bill will also
ask for $40, 900 for the maintenance OF
the road forces, and $l6,O for the
maintenance of the Highway Commits
sioner's Office.
No one yet has suggested better use
to which convicts can be put than build
Ing roads and the sooner they sre put to
this work the better it will be for them
and for the State.
