A BILL introduced by Representative
Milliron, of Venango county, in the
House at Harrisburg, to change the form
of the official ballot is so sensible in its
purpose and so necessary to overcome
obvious defects in the present form that
there should not be vote against the
measure. In presidential elections, as
has frequently been pointed out, thous-
ands of voters manage to vote for the
electors only, when their real purpose is
to support the entire list of their party's
candidates. The arrangement of the
party squares in column on the left OF
the ballot is misleading, and many good
man has gone down to defeat in close
districts through the loss of few hundred
votes, resulting from placing the cross in
the square at the head of the electors in
stead of in the square at the left of the
ballot. 1t is defect which can be easily
remeded, and the legislature has no ex-
cuse whatever for postpOning the reform.
A single ballot with the party square at
the top of each column, as in Ohio, would
be all that is necessary.

ONE of our valued exchanges contained
the following item about the home news
paper which meets our views so fully
that we give it space in our columns. 1t
says: The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child will ever
grow up ignorant who can be taught to
appreciate the home paper, 1t is the
stepping stone to intelligence in all those
matters not to be learned in books. Give
your children a foreign paper which
contains not one word about any person,
place or thing which they ever saw or
perhaps ever heard OF and how can you
expect them to be interested? But let
them have the home paper and read OF
persons they meet, and places with which
they are familiar and soon an interest is
awakened which increases with every
arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit
of reading is formed and those children
will read the papers all their lives aud be.
come intelligent men and women, 6
credit to their ancestors, strong in theil
knowledge of the world as it is today.

NO FLAGS ON scHOoLHOUsEs
But There. Is No Penalty for DIS
Obeying Law.

There is law pertaining to the
schools in Kansas which never has
been observed in Abilene although
1t has been in force two years. 1t Is
the act passed by the legislature IN
1907 making 1t TIA duty OF the
school authorities to keep q United
States flag flying during school hours
and this law states:
ut shall be the duty Of the school
authorities Of every public school In
the several cities, towns, villages and
school districts Of this state to pur-
chase a suitable United States flag,
flagstaff and the necessary appliances
therefor, and to display such flag up
on, near or in the public school
building during school hours and
at such other times as such school
authorities may direct.
at shall be the duty Of the stats
superintendent OF public INSTRUCTION
Of this state to prepare for the use
Of the public schools Of the state q
program providing for a salute to
the flag at the opening OF each day
Of school and such other patriotic
exercises as may be deemed by him
to be expedient."
one reason why little attention is
paid to this law is that there is no
penalty for violating 1t. The man
who got 1t up must have been a be-
glnner in the reforming business. for
he forgot to provide that anyone
should be sent to jail or fined for
falling to observe the act. 1t is prob
able that some real reformer will mo-
tiee thls.lmportant omission and have
1t remedied when the legislature
meets in 1911.

Concordia, started against field Of
