THE SHORT BALLOT.

,Braddock's army entered an am bush and a few Indians, hiding in the leafy jungle, defeated it. Wash ington took command, led the army to an open plain and immediately the army retrieved itself.
 In the political battles against Vest ed Privilege (whether it be the privi- lege of getting a franchise cheap or holding an easy job on city payrolls) our American people need just such strategy. Their battle ground is the ballot-a ballot the like of which is never seem anywhere ill this world save in America It usually con- tains upwards of twenty elective off, fices- sometimes as many as fifty. Some of them are small, most of them are purely executive and hence not debatable, and others are hopelssly
 
 ment are dissipated among obscur ities until even the expert politician, looking at the mass of nominations, cant tell what games are being worked Making the ballot a jungle is not the way to get real govern ment by the people. The long ballots form a natural ambush and it is uo wonder that the people-big, clumsy and inexpert-get riddled by foes they cannot see!
 Woodrow Wilson is rallyng the scattered forces of democracy with a new cry-.sShort Ballot!' He has formed a new civic association, na- tional in it's scope, called The Short Ballot Organization. It's slogan is "The long ballot is the politicians ballot. The Short Ballot is the peo- ple's ballot" '
 The short ballot is any ballot on which there are only few, say flve' elective offices, all of them important and naturally conspicuous before the people. The idea is to give the peo- ple a clear, open plain as their bat tie ground, a ballot swept with the of publicity, where every foe will be a clear, unsheltered target.
 Des Moines, Galveston, and other commission governed cities. have these short ballots and the politicians count for nothing there. The we'll governed cities of England, Germany New Zealand are all short-ballot cit ies. We can't devise a government that will automatically be a good govern- ment We can devise governments that will be popular. The recipe Is simple-if you want a few politicians to control, give the people a hard, complicated job at the election. If you want all the people to control give them an easy, simple, well-illu- minated job-a short ballot!-Richard s. Childs.

LAKE CITY LACONlCS.
Brief Jottings Of Little Incidents
oa Local and General Interest.

Lake City, November 15:-Mr and
Mrs M M Motley went to Columbia
Saturday night. They were sum-
moned to the bedside of the latter's
brother-in-law, Mr. King, who was
reported as critically i'll. Mr. King
died before they reached Columbia.
MrJB McCutchen, Jr. now of
Latta, is visiting in and near town.
Two motor carloads of Knights
from the Lake City lodge went to
Johnsonville Wednesday night of
LAST week and assisted in installing a
new lodge at that place. They
reached home in the cold gray dawn,
and were themselves cold, gray, do"n
and almost out. 1t is said that one
car was so reluctant to come home
that it had to be towed by the other
a considerable distance, and that a
set of harness was employed as the
tow line. We don't pretend to un-
derstand why harness was used in
preference to a rope, unless the car
acted so much like a mule that its
owner, for the time being, recog-
nized it as a mule. The steenth"
degree sometimes has queer effect,
eve$ on those who have gone
through it time and again.
Mr. L B Roper, formerly of Single,
saAw of Eennettsville, was here last
week.
Mr. M X Gravely, who sells fire
proof safes between tobacco seasons,
has gone on the road for the winter.
Some time ago MIR Charles Null
drow in his automobile ran over Mr.
James McCown as the latter, who
was afoot, was attempting to cross
a street in Florence. Mr. McCown,
who was seriously hurt, brought
suit against Mr. Muldrow, and last
week, on the trial Of the case. the
jury rendered a verdict in Mr. Nc
Gowns favor for 100000. This
verdict will, we believe, have good
effect throughout the entire country.
There are some who, when in a car,
act as if they owned the earth, and
people on foot are nothing more
than cattle, and have no rights
which these car drivers are called
upon to respect. In saying this we
have no reference to those who own
and run automobiles in this town.
We have never heard complaint
against any local car owner except
one, and not even against this one
lately. In fact, tine car drivers here
behave much better than some horse
drivers. The man, whoever he may
be, because he is in control of the
power of a horse or an automobile,
loses sight of the rights of others,
ought to be treated as a common
criminal. Such a one is an enemy
of society and should be locked up
until he learns his duty to his fellow
men. w l. b.

RABBI ENELOW Is
RENDERED HONOR
ASKED TO LEAD JEWISH MOVE
MENT IN ENGLAND.
Former Rabbi OF Temple Israel Is
Recognized by World as Great
Social Worker.
HIS PLANS NOT ANNOUNCED

Louisville, July 25.-Rabbi II. G.
Enelow, pastor of Temple Adath
Israel. has been rendered the highest
honor that can come to an Ameri-
can Jew. Or. Enelow has been ten
tatiyely called to take charge of the
great reform Jewish movement in
London and Great Britain.
The call came to Lr. Enelow as a
result Of a recent visit to this coun-
try of Claude G. Montefiore, who is
now at the head of the Jedish re-
form movement in England. Mr.
Montehore attended the recent con-
ference of American Tabbis and on
his return to London travelled on
board the same ship with Rabbi
Enelow, who was then on his way to
spend the summer across the water.
The Information received here is
that Mr.. Montefore, who has long
known of DR.. Enelow and his work
in the reform movement in America,
and especially in Louisville and Ken
lucky. discussed the matter with DR..
Enelow, which resulted in his saying
to him he can take charge of the
movement In London as the first re-
form rabbi.
Many countries. where the Jewish
reform movement has gained a foot
hold have been watching the condi-
tions in England, where a dead form
of Judaism has existed sleepily for
centuries and to awaken the spirit
of reform in that field has been a
problem long discussed.
That the present leader Of the
movement in England should come
to America and to Louisville to find
a rabbi to begin the actual work Of
establishing the Jewish modern idea
