Registration of the Voters
Will Purify the Elections

day the same questions were asked.
1t would take more ingenuity than or
binary men possess to manufacture
biographies and teach them to the
crowd of repeaters.
Law Was Successful.
Conservative men in New York city
estimated that more then thirty thous-
and illegal votes were prevented in
that city at the election of 1908. The
law had all the earmarks of an unqual
flied success.
This year it has been extended to
all cities over five thousaid. The rur-
al districts in New York have had reg
istration by proxy or in person and the
cities a personal registration only.
Hereafter all additions to the original
list must be made by personal applica-
ton. The Indiana law requires per-
sonal appearance of every elector,
not because it is everywhere needed,
but because of fears that the excep-
ton might invalidate the laws.
New Jersey adopted the New
/ York law almost completely. 1t ap-
plies to cities of five thousand or more
population. Registration in that state
had previouly Eot effective in pre-
venting gross frauds and the new
drastic system was badly needed.
Another form of registra ton, quite
distinct in mthod, was adopted this
year in West Virginia. In that state
it is done in the same manned as the
assessment of property The regeis-
tration board must visit the usual
abode of every voter and register him.
If they think he is not entitled to
register they put twelve questions to
him under oath.
After going the rounds and Using all
the votors whom they can find. the
registrars sit for the revision of the
of the lists. Any person may appear
to register. When the lists are COM
plete the books are turned over to
the county court, which sits as a court
of review on the lists for the whole
county. An appeal may be taken to
the highest courts from any deci-
sionof the county court on the right
of any person to register
Plans Look Cumbersome.
This method of registration seems
complete, but in appearance it looks
cumbersome Two registrars would
be many days making the rounds of
an ordinary precinct. Such a visit
does not, moreover insure accuracy,
since a personal appearance is not
necessary.
The registrars must visit the vot-
ers place of abode, but if he is not at
home he Is registered pust the same

interests must always be relied on in

SURPRISED ROBBER

(National News Association)

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Surprised by
Policeman Thomas ]. Hunt, as he was
in the act of breaking into the resi-
dence of former Assistant Secretary of
State Samuel Hoffman in Arverne, L.
l., a burglar turned his revolver upon
the officer with .probbly fatal effect.
The Hoffman family had just retired
for the night, having entertained
friends, and were alarmed by the
sound of two SHOTS upon the lawn.
From the windows they saw the po-
liceman fall. Hunt was SO badly
wounded he could not make a state

even the voters poll. familiar in In
diana. can be used to trace every yo-
ter to his liar. The precinct commit
teeman can, with such a list in a very
short time, run down all doubtful
characters and prepare to challenge
them at the polls, A registration law
serves its chief purpose in placing
such a list of intending voters in the
hands of the public and party workers.

.While travelling ON a southern line
Of railway I was puzzled to know the
meaning Of q sign by the track side.
It flashed across the car window again
and again. This was the legend:
'Shut Your Ash Pan"
On inquirink I learned that 1t was
q warning to engineers. The ash pan
under the boiler Of a locomotive when
left open strews embers along the
track. The order to shut the ash pan
meant what It said.
When the engineer sees the sign 1t
means that his engine Is approaching
q wooden bridge. He must shut OF
his ash pan or the live Goals may set
llre to the timbers of the bridge.
The warning is applicable to more
things than railroading. For instance:
Words dropped into combustible ma
terial are like live Goals. The fire once
kindled may fame up into passion

When you near the bridge Of a
controversy you should look for the
danger signal and do like the engi-
ueer-

Matter and Force.

There is no such thing as loss OF
matter or force. Tho so called ''con-
servation" of matter and Its forces
was demonstrated years ago by Joule
and other scientists. When, for in
stance. thing ''burns up" as we say,
the substances that give out the light
and heat are changed. not destroyed.
The wood or whatever the substance
happens to be becomes ashes and gas,
and if we could gather up all the prod.
ucts Of the burning we should find
that they had not lost a particle OF
their weight and that the form of them
only was changed. The eternity Of
matter was teaching OF the old Greek
philosophers, or Of some of them at
least, and the modern teaching Of the
conservation or indestructibility Of the
stun of the universe would seem to
corroborate the ancient tdea.-New

but It lay with bankrupt merchant
Of DantzIg to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits Of wine; but the ingeni.
Gus Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium. and so II has remained
