The Family Ballot.

Somebody is preparing to introduce a bill in the Wisconsin legislature next winter making it permissible for wife to cast the husbands ballot if he for any reason is unable to go to the polls. Armed with proxy ex- ecuted in due form, the wife is to be admitted to the polling place and permitted to cast the family ballot for those candidates and those meas ures agreed upon in the family ;coun- cil. This is not really so remarka ble an innovation as it at first seems. The ballot of the American voter has long been the expression of family rather than individual preferences The proposed law simply seeks to in sure the fullest possible expression of this preference in cases of accident, sickness or unavoidable absence.

Haskell is Freesd; Charges AnnuI!ed

McAlister, Okla.-Judge Marshall has annulled the charges against Gov. Haskell and others in the Mus kogee town lot cases and the defend ants have been discharged. After vain endeavor on the part of Dis trict Attorney Gregg to induce Judge Marshall to modify his ruling re- stricting the prosecution, Assistant Attorney General Rush entered a nolle against Defendants Haskell, Turner, Eaton and Hutchings. He said that the ruling shut off all the overt acts, except five deferred pay ments by Turner for lots, and that it was not possible under the testimony to connect the other defendants with those five payments specially. Judge Stuart of counsel for defense wanted a verdict by the jury, but Judge Mar shall denied the request and ordered the cases dismissed and the defend ants discharged. A hundred or more state employees were in the court room when the order was made and at adjournment the governor and other defendants were showered with congratulations.

ROOSEVELT WOULD
 REORGANlZE PARTY.
Wants to Increase Republican Central
 Body in New York to l5O Members.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 26.-Theo. dore Roosevelt will be elected tenn porary chairman of the Republican state convention Tuesday with al least 50 votes to spare. The ques- tion of advocating direct primaries hangs in the balance. The Roose- yelt progressive forces talk conf dently of increasing the Republican state committee from 38 members to 150. Practically all the delegates and leaders are on the ground, The
 fight of the reactionaries will be cen tered upon direct primaries and the increasing of the size of the state committee. Whether or not the Re publican party in the state shall be drastically reorganized is recognized by both factions as the big central issue. It is utterly impossible to pre- dict who will be nominated for gov ernor. There is but one public boom. This is for Representative Bennett of New York City and as a damper on that comes the report that Roose- welt disapproves of nominating the congressman. There will be no slate and the nomination prizes will be gained in a scramble on the 1oor

Bryan Tells How to Conquer the Desert.

Pueblo, Colo.-William Jennings Bryan and Gov. John r. Shafroth divided honors as prominent speak CTS at the first days session of the eighteenth National Irrigation con- gress. Two thousand delegates, in- cluding the governors of six states, are here to discuss the problem of how to make the desert drink. From the far-away dominions of the Czar has come the ministea for agriculture in person to exchange ideas. on pro- gress with the men of the western world. From the plains beside the Himalayas and from distant Siam have journeyed engineers, savants, workers. From Australia and from Chile, from Mexico and from Egypt, from Prussia and from Cuba have come students and builders and the makers of irrigation laws. One thought, one purpose, animates them all. Each man is putting his shoulder to the wheel and crying Fight the desert"
 The sessions of the congress are being held in the Mineral palace, in Pueblo's city park. On some vacant land adjoining the park have been placed the exhibits. Gov. Shafroth and Mayor A. L. Fugard welcomed the delegates. and a message from President Taft was read. B. A. Fow- Ter, president of the congress, then delivered his annual address, which was followed by a speech from form CT Coy. Ava Adams, on Colorado, Conquest and Conservation" In the evening, MT. Bryan spoke on "Irrigation," and following his talk the hall was cleared and he was given a public reception.

Democrat Wen As Convention Delegate

Great surprise has been occasiOned in Phoenix at the outcome of the canvass of votes cast in Gila county in the election of delegates to the constitutional convention at a meet ing of the board of supervisors in Globe. Contrary to the universal be- lief that the recount of votes might show a difference in the close fight between Weinberger and Langdon, the canvass established that Vein berger was elected, but that his conferee, Mccormick, was the one to sacrifice his short lived success.
 The difference was caused by an iu- correct total extension on one of the Globe tally sheets. The tally sheet on which the difference was noted was correct as to details, but an er- TOT in addition was made.
 The exact figures for the five sue cessful candidates and the one who was thought to have been elected un- til the canvass, are as follows: Ken ney, democrat, 755; Hunt, democrat, 74O; Langdon, republican, 720; Kee- gan, democrat, 7l9; Weinberger, democrat, 7l9; Mccormick, demo-

Les Angeles is Divorce Center.

Los Angeles, Sept. 3O.-Figures startling and interesting are collect ed in compilation of the marriage and divorce records of Los Angeles for the last year, which were made public today. From October l, 1909, to October l, 1910, 1O6O diyorces were granted, and of these, 645 decrees were handed down within the last six months.
 This is a rate of one di vorce to less than five marriages. During the moth of September alone, POP legal separations were granted by the courts of this county.
 Los Angeles county is uow granting nearly half as many diverces as were granted in the entire state five years ago. In 1907 the ratio in .his county, was one divorce to every nine mar riages and in 1908 it was one to every seven, showing a gradual increase. The month ending today, with a score of POP divorces, breaks all local records.
 Until the state labor commissioner began compiling statistics it was be- lieved many of the California diyorces, were granted to eastern ap- plicatants who came to this state for that purpose, but the records show that nearly seventy per cent. were granted to couples married in Cali fornia.
 Fifty per cent. of the couples divorced ih Los Angeles county, which has a large eastern population, were married in this state.
 The further interesting fact is dis closed that of the couples divorced more had been married from five to ten years than less than five years.

 For governor, John A. Dix, Wash ington county; for lieutenant govern or, Thomas L Conway, Clinton coun- ty; for comptroller, Wm. Sohmer, New York; for state treasurer, John J. Kennedy, Erie county; for attorney general, Thomas J. Carmody, Yates county; for state engineer and sur veyor, John A. Benzel, New York; for assocsate judge of the court of ap- peals, Frederick K. Collin, Chemung county.
 The list of candidates prepared after a day of almost continuous conference, went through shortly after midnight, with only two halts in its quick progress.
 This was the presentation of the name of Congressman Wm. Sulzer as the only rival candidate for govern or. MT Sulzer received 16 of the 45O votes on the convention and MT. Dix got the rest.
 Supreme Court Justice James A. Bates, of Ulster county, was the only other candidate presented in oppo- sition to the wishes of the leaders.
 For associate judge of the court of appeals h. received 2 votes but be- fore the result of the balloting was announced, the nomination of MT. Collin was made unanimous on the motion of Listers delegation. All the other nominations were by accla- nation.
 The ticket was concluded by the nomination of Frederick K. Collin, Of Elmira, for associate justice of the court of appeals.
 Then John B. Stanchfeld, of FL mira, moved that the convention in- dorse the candidacy of Irving G. Yam, who has been nominated by the Republicans to succeed himself in the second vacancy on the court of appeals bench. The motion was carried unanimously.
 The conyention took it's final ad- journment at 1925 a. m. and the dele gates made rush for their trans.

Los Angeles Times Building is Blown Up

Los Angeles, October 1.-The build ing and plant O. the Los Angeles Times, of which General Harrison Grey Otis is editor and principal owner, was completely destroyed by explosions and fire shortly after o'clock this morning, resulting in the death upwards of twenty of it's em- oloyees and a financial loss of nearly lalf a million dollars. The manage nent lays the blame for the explosion on labor unions with which the paper has long been engaged in a bitter warfare.
 It is charged that unidentified par ties set off a charge of dynamite in blind alley which ran into the cen ter of the building, wreckiug the in terior and setting fire to it from roof to basement The force of the ex- plosion was terrific and it was heard for miles round about.
 The heads of the paper, including Assistant Manager Harry Chandler, had narrow escapes.
 The building was equipped with gas fittings and the force of the explosion tearing those pipes to bits released the gas, which ignited in every part of the building.
 few minutes after the explosion two men were arrested, giving their names as Harry Flake and William [rwit, but the police are without de finite clews.
 "For years we have been receiving threatening letters from people who said the paper ought to be blown up," said Manager Chandler this morning. "There is no doubt this outrage can be laid at the doors of the labor unions.'i He said that two years ago the Times had established an auxiliary plant in another part of the city, equippiug it completely, with the expectation that the pres ent plant might some day be de- strOVed,

TAFT AND CABINET
 DISCUSS ECONOMY.
Names Also to be Considered at Three Day Session of Men for Supreme
 Bench.

Washington.-How to save the Re. publican party in the fall con. gressional campaign and how to save the Presidency for the party in 191z were two leading topics discussed by President Taft and his cabinet at the first of a three-day session. Other topics to be considered are: Judicial appointments, including the supreme court vacancies and the creation ot a new court of commerce; depart mental reports and estimates of ex- peuditures for the coming fiscal year; plans for greater efficiency and economy in the government depart mentS the putting into operation of postal savings banks, and consider ation of affairs in Panama.
 All the cabinet members were pres -ent excepting Secretary of War Dickinson, who is in China. A strenuous program for three days has been mapped out. Breakfast at which business affairs will be inform ally discussed, will begin each morn ing at S:3O o'clock. The cabinet will formally meet at II o'clock each morning and adjourn at 1:3O in the afternoon for luncheon. Then, if weather conditions permit, will come golf, horseback riding, aotomobiling and other forms of reCuperatlon un- til the dinner hour, 7:3O p. m. Over coffee cups and cigars the President expects, it is said, to have night cabinet meetings.
