The Voting Machine.

The voting machine which is to be
used In the election of Omaha and
Douglas county is a mechanical con-
trivance intended to register a choice
of candidates precisely as would be
recorded on the paper ballot. The
machine makes for straight party vot-
ing chiefly because the average voter
is unfamiliar with it and reluctant to
take a chance of mistakes. Every voter
should make up his mind not to let
compulsory use of the voting machine
prevent him from voting Just as he
would vote without the machine.
Every voter should examine the
dummy machine exhibited in the poll
ing place before he goes into the
booth and make sure that he knows
how to operate the levers. Pull the re-
publican lever first, and then If you
want to vote for candidates on other
tickets set indices Just the way you
want them. Take your time and don't
let anyone stampede you.

Financial Deals with china.

Springfield Republican.
Financial Europe seems to be amused
as well as chagrined over the reports that
an American banking syndicate has cap
tured a $50, 600 600 Chinese railroad loan.
Amusement grows out Of the fact that
America complains of insufficient capital
for its own enterprises, and is even now
as much Of borrower in Europe as It
can be- Chagrin grows out of the fact
that the lending country is likely to get
the bulk Of the orders for railroad build
ing material. What will Europe say If
the Wall street banking syndicate should
manage finally to market most of the
Chinese bonds IN that country? This is
quite likely to happen. America would
then get the credit for the loan and or
ders for railroad material, while Europe
would actually furnish the money.

The supreme court Of the United States
believes that men may read the news
papers and yet be competent to weigh
the evidence in court, and no one can
doubt that Jurors who read the papers
during the trial are better qualified than
the Jurors who cannot read, or who have
not read any newspapers between the
commission Of the crime and the trial.
The court refused to set aside a convic-
tion, as it was asked to do, on the ground
that the jury had been permitted to sep
arate and 10 read newspapers News re-
garding a crime is news. and may legitl-
mately be published. The average man
can, when necessary, distinguish between
news and evidence the judge charges him
TO weigh.

The mystery that hides him here and there
Bears the sure witness he is everywhere.

gotten some one to vouch for him as
of German descent and to assure folks
from the fatherland that his father
was Sin every respect a genuine Ger
man" We presume that in the Bo-
hemian newspapers some one has dis
covered for him a grandfather born in
Bohemia. We presume, too, that he
has a cousin who is a Greek and an
aunt who is an Italian, and very likely
his great-grandfather once employed a

A WORLD BENEFACTOR,
Founder of the international Red
Cross Society.
PIttsburg Dlsnntch-

Pittsburg Dispatch
The death Of Henri Dunant, founder of
the International Red Cross, recalls to at
tenuon man whose services entitled him
to the often-abused title Of world bene-
factor. IT is true that before his resolu-
ton, inspired by his personal view Of the
sutfertngs of the wounded at the battle of
Solterino, June "A, 1853, led him to suggest
the idea that has since encircled the globe
with Red Cross societies, the humanitarian
sentiment Of caring for the wounded had
peen practiced by the order of St Mary
at the siege Of Acre in 1880 and by the
knightly orders in the middle ages. The
horrors OF war, pictured by the war CORE,
spondents in the Crimea, and the heroism
OF Florence Nightingale ripened popular
opinion for the coming of the Red Cross
But It remained for this citizen of Switzer-
lhnd to gain, by the devotion Of his energy
ana fortune, the attention and cooperation
Of the united nations under the Geneva
convention of 1853
since that conference, approved by six
teen nations, the organization has spread
until today 1t is recognized by forty -four
governments It's scope has been extended
too beyond the naturalization of the
wounded and those who succor them under
the Red Cross Cargo on the battlefield to
raisins funds and furnishing relief to
stricken humanity, whether in war or
peace, by food, famine, plague or convul-
sion of nature.

GLENN URGES LOCAL
OPTION LAW FOR JERSEY.
Two Meetings for Crusade Held
i'm Plainfeld.

.PLAINFIELD, Feb. 1.-two big
meetings were held yesterday in the
interest of the Anti-Saloon League and
liberal subscriptions were made to the
cause.
The morning session in the Crescent
Avenue Presbyterian Church was given
w to former Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina, who held the congre-
cation ~spellbound by his oratory in
appeal for a local option law. He said
that New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Nevada are the only States without
such laws He said that the principal
argument against local option is the
loss of license money but hat over
against the income from license is a
greater expense for police, jaiis, lunatic
asylums and charitable institutions as
a result of the liquor traffic.
Former Governor Glenn said the
pastors of the United States are paid
81, 000,0 900 in salaries. while the people
pay $4,000, 0o0. 900 q year for liquor, a
sum sufficient to do all the home and
foreign mission work.
At the First Baptist Church in the af-
ternoon Judge William A. Covington, OF
Colquitt, Ga, addressed a large audi
ence, stating that North Carolina has
risen in it's might and banished the
saloon. the result being that the checks
by grocer and butcher, instead of the
s~aloon-keeper, and that a wave of pros
perity has since swept over the State.
