and dropped it down upon the desk OF
the councillor.
County Commissioner j. G. Yeaton OF
Winthrop, who was present at the hear
| ing, described the swinging doors used
at the Winthrop polling place as cup
board doors htched onto the booth at
each end"
A number of communications from
different towns which had been re-
ceived since the last Council meeting
were read by Governor Plaisted. in
which various irregularities were
claimed 1t was alleged that at Wes
ton a man and a boy went into the
polling place together and that the
boy deposited the ballot in the box,
also that single voter marked bal
Hot for two or three men.
1t was claimed that at Livermore
there were no doors upon the voting
booths and that at Fayette the count
of the ballots began at $40, although
one man cast his ballot after that.
also that the polls were never declar
ed closed.
The Governor depressed a moment
at this point in order to exhibit to
Town Clerk McMennamin of Lime
stone the returns sent in to the sec
lretary of State and the Governor and
Council in which the returns had been
reversed from the figures to which he
| had testified earlier in the day. The
Limestone man smiled a sickly smile
| and remarked, Il have never claimed
| that anyone was to blame in this mat

1t was at this point that Attorney
General. Pattangal delivered himself
lin regard to the matter OF swinging
doors. :. IIe said: Il ask the Council
| to consider the fact that informa-
ltjor has been received that in con-
fsiderahle number OF towns no doors
we're USED upon the polling booths
where balloting was going on, and
WHIT technical errors of town officers
cannot disfranchise towns, this is
much mere serious matter.
IF a mandatory statute in regard
to the method of holding elections
can be done away with, then our
whole Australian ballot system is
flake. IL we can do away with the
swinging doors .welean do away with
the railing. and. if with the railing
then with the booth. itself. What is
tine sense of having a ballot law, il it
can be repealed by any set of town
loficials that desires to do so? | don't
know what the Council is going to

ling to tabulate the returns as they
come in or not, but if it is to. pass
without notice that one-fourth OF the
Towns in the State have thus violat-
ed the election laws, we might just
las well do away with our whole eleR7
ton laws and tell the Legislature ho'
to pass any more.

of the states attorney, that wrong ac-

Some say that revenge is sweet. but
the common experince Of all who have
gIutted themselves at this feast is,
that it is a most bitter sweet. Ask the
outlaw, roaming the western wilds,
startled at the chirp Of bird and turn
ing pale at his own shadow. if il is
sweet. Ask the poor wretch who is
about to pay the penalty on the gal
lows, and you need not wait for the
answer before deciding. You will find
that silence or very gentle words are
the most equisite revenge for re-
proaches; they will either cure the dis
temper in the angry man and make him
sorry for his act; or they will be q
severe reproach and punishment to
him.

There are certain people who seem
to think that the pulpit licenses sensa-
tional preachers to abuse and vilify a
community to their heart content and
they roundly applaud. in more ways
than one. the efforts Of such preachers.
These same deluded people also seem
TO think it blasphomous for a news
paper to raise its voice in criticism of
these preachers. forgetful of the fact
that it's poor rule that won't work
both ways. However, as the sensation
alist preacher has two objects in view

deluded ones have no kick coming
at anything that might appear in the

There is one universal criterion of a
a town. and that is its newspaper.
When a stranger wants TO know what
sort of a place any town is. he sends
for its newspaper. If he finds the pa
per full of business. he asys it is s
business town. for the merchants know
how to advertise If the paper is
poorly supported and a weak sister
generally he says TO himself that that
place is no good. or it would not be
presented by that sort of paper. And
he is pretty apt to judge correctly. A
live town m axes a live newspaper. for
it is only the publisher who is support
ed who has the courage and the where
withal TO make a good newspaper, for
be it known it takes money to run a
newspaper
