VOTING MACHINES
Mighty Hard to Simplify Voting So
That Only "Our Crowd" VIII
Know How.

Voting machines are to be dis
carded in New Jersey for the very
good and sufficient reason that the
people are not intelligent enough to
use them. That doesn't appear on
the face of the action taken the 9TH
er day in the assembly at Trenton,
but that is the meaning of it. The as
sembly said by resolution that many
persons failed to vote correctly
through failure to pull a correct
lever. 1t will be remembered that
Hon, Norman E. Mack, chairman of
the democratic national committee,
tried to vote by the machine meth
Cd in the recent election and cast a
straight republican ballot because
he pulled the wrong lever on the
voting machine That was not in
New Jersey, of course, but voting
machines are the same everywhere.
1t seems to be a mighty hard mat
ter to simplify voting so that only
our crowd" will know how to do
it successfully.

GEE wHIz!" SAYS BACON.
Trousers Skirt Appears on Paris
Stage; Is Quickly Taken Off.

A Paris cable says: Ambassador
Bacon has seen the trousers skirt,
and his only comment was, Gee
Whit"
The Coincide Franchise is not
ready to give its sanction to the
new article of feminine apparel.
Henri Bernstein, author Of the new
play "Apres Moi, asked Mile. Pro
yost to appear in the first act attir-
ed in a trousers skirt. She did so
at the public dress rehearsal.
The audience was not impressed
as expected. 1t broke into filters
and whispers, and at times into
laughter The disturbance was so
great at one time that it came near
stepping the performance Ambas-
sador Bacon was there and made
the comment quoted.
Jules Claretie, director of the
theatre, who mad given his approval
to Mr.. Bernstein's r quest, quickly
changed his mind Mile. Provost
was told not to wear the bifurcated
dress in the piece again.

the most remarkable chapters in the
annals of Alaskan waters, the story
of one mans gallant fight for life
in the wilderness of the north.
William Ode was a member Of the
crew of the schooner Courtney Ford
of San Francisco, which, on Septem-
Der 80, 1902, according to the rec
ord of Lindsey Campbell, was driven
ashore at Izenbect Island, barren

fought.
