primaries. L. w. RIFLE.
Did it ever occur to you what a
difiult thing it 10 for an editor to come
into a new town and attempt to get
everything straight? It's hard enough
when he knows everybody but you
must remember that at the outset he
does not know the name. initials or
relationship of q single person in town
nor even the spelling of the names.
John Smith may spell his name Smy-
the, and be grossly insulted if We
didn't know it should be thusly made
a proper noun. In a recent issue the
names of nearly three hundred people
we're mentioned in The Post. Oh, yes,
We succeeded in getting the nit tails
and spelling somewhat mixed up; but
think how much worse it might have
been! Just managed to save our scalp
in n intance by someone noticing
that we had written q local the way
We thought we had heard it: MRS.
--- was visiting at the home of
her parents. MI. and Mrs. -
That wouldn't have been so bad if both
women didn't happen to be sisters ant
prominent in the younger set We
hate to think what might have hap
pened to US. And We came near max
ing q Miss out of another Mrs. To be
sure her husband was not with her. but
it's up to US to know better. Most of
the people had initials, too. BY q
slight slip We made out one of the
grain men to have been shipping
stock. B ut no one ought to be insulted
by being mistaken for a pIutocrat. We
were lucky. No n complained-to
us-about being miswritten. You
know people are almost as sensitive
about having their names misspelled
as about being called a liar. But give
Us time and We will learn. And also,
we will learn who are the tightwads'
about letting the general public know
even if they are going away as far as
the next station. They may be afraid
that if that momentous fact should
creep into the paper it might be copied
in the Chicago or New York dailies
and cause a terrible jolt on the stock
exchange. Or. on the other hand it
may be just natural and perverse
closeness. We know of q man not far
from here that goes around to the far
side of a train so that the reporters
will not get wise. When he con-
descends to take his wife he inst tells
her to get ready. She never knows
where she is going. One day he told
her to bring the little girl, too. When
they got to Sioux City he told them
the daugh ter vas to be operated on.
But we will do the best we can to keep
the public's initials straight and dish
up oil the news We C sn corrall. And
it might be that you can help . little
some time by dropping a hint of where
an item lies hidden. Honestly, that
wouldn't make US mad q bit.

confusion.
 In modern newspaper office the ma chlnery of a great publishing house is trained to gather the results of elec- tlon counts as fast as finished and present them in readable form for the democracy of commonwealth. The public demand for election results means that some information of what soever meager variety must be given out.
 In the case of the general election Monday no authoritative figures are available for publication at the late hour of o'clock Tuesday afternoon. No count or tabulation is made of the returns or registration made by the county election commissioners when the ballot boxes are turned in by the judges.
 The boxes are by law supposed to l missioners. Arrangements were made for the filing of these boxes at the Union Trust Company vault The boxes were placed in the vault. No registration was made of the count.
 The public readers of a newsp paper which makes every effort to print the results of an election-the most inn portant event in States life-is handicapped by the lack of co-opera- tion.
 The Arkansas Democrat has exerted every effort to secure the results for today's issue. What has been done is presented in these columns.
 What has not been printed is not available for publication. The lack of expeditions methods in counting and tabulating elections returns is reason for the delay in presenting the returns to the public.

 ScareS.
HEARD HIM

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 10-In wind ing up his two-days campaign in Washington, Colonel Roosevelt to- night chopped away once more at the bosses, rapped Woodrow Wilson, lunged al President Taft and advc- cated the Progressive party as ve- hicle of untainted politics.
 In his days run through the east ern part of the state, presumably a stand Dat region, the ex-Presilent laet with uns sxpeet edly big crowds. True, they were snot SC iinmense as these that turned put to SC President Taft last fall, b,ats5th hey were formidable enough to show that d Progressive sentiment exists. f'f
 In Seattle where Roosevelt ap- peared early in the morning, stayin 8 until 3:30 this afternoon, he was boisterously acclaimed as he rode through the streets, while the huge audiences he addressed at the audi Jorium and laeer at tue Proressive stateA convention, literally bubbled ever with fervar.
 Roosevelt spoke tonight in the open air stadium to throng of 25,000. Ii eclipsed for. size any gathering he has faced on his coast to coast trip The exPresident's appearance i1 Seattle was timed by the Progressives so it would come on the trail of the primary.
 Both the Progressives and Demo crats claim that they will sweep thf state in November. The Taft force: are apparently waiting to see how strong the Progressive party becomes With the purpose of throwing thei strength to Wilson if Roosevelt be- comes dangerous. Governor Hay, tn standpat Republican candidate fo governor, is making a desperate cam paign against Hodge, with the pros Eect of Hay cantering in.

MEXICAN TROOPS
 CROSS THE BORDER
FEDERALS SENT THROUGH FL PASO TO INTERCEPT BAND
 OF REBELS GATHERING
 ON BOUNDARY LINE .3
Believed That Rebels Plan To March On Illual.ua-American Patrol
 Keeps. Watch.

Washington, Sept 10.-A detach- meht ot l,2O0 Mexican federal troops Is rushing across American territory tonight to intercept and dispel the band cf rebels gathering along the northern boundary of Mexico, espec- lally in the states of Sonora under the leadership of General Salazar and threatening American propery.
 War Department and State Depart ment officials are keeping the route of the Mexican federals secret at the request of the Mexican government. Most of the federal troops massed at Juarez c rossed the bridge today into El Paso, Texas, and were shipped by train to some poiut near Noga.es, Arizona, where they will be within striking distance of the Cananea dls- trict. Reports reached the War De- partment today that the rebels were gsshadsas9hs lia l tdteoas Jp tn vicinity of Cananea. They seemed to be lwe-  pairing for long march as horses, supplies, ammunition and dynamite were being concentrated. Gen. Sal agar is encamped at Gabalones and is in communication with the rebel mountain band. He is being closely watched by the Amercan patrol.
 From the movements of the rebels it is expected that General Orozco, the rebel leader, is aware of the movement of the federal fierce and is preparing for a battle on Mexican line or he is planning to retreat and dash into Chihuahua where *~ there are few federal troops at the sfrssent It is officially reported that the
 rebels are no longer at ojinaga, hav- Fin gfn.et with decisive defeat in their skirmish there with tie fsaeral force
 yesterday Thss spofd from k ijinaga e to Nogales is now controlled by the 1 federals.

While the returns from Mondays state election are still incomplete in many counties throughout the state, owing to the trouble being experience cd by the judges and clerks in count ing and tabulating the vote. it is eyi- dent that statewide prohibition has been lost, but the exact majority in favor of local option will not be known for several days.
 In Jefferson county the "wets" scored a decisive victory and the people in the country districts join ed with their city brethren ill sup port of the bond amendment, which appears to have received safe ma jority over the state.
 The Graphic this morning presents an almost complete report of the vote cast in this county on election day, but there are still some precincts missing and the returns from some of the rural districts will not be re-
 
 the week. This paper has spent mon- ey and made determined effort to give it's readers some earlier infor- mation. but owing to the fact that some of the judges and clerks did not cooperate with the press in re- porting the totals from their respec- a%r fhA complete. In many cases the ballot boxes were returned to the election commissioners, but the judges did not think it enough importance to bring a copy of the vote that the public might be informed of the vote through the newspapers.
 The judges and clerks should be more considerate of the public in giv- ing out the results of then election ill the different wards and townships. Without complete report from every precinct it is often difficult to con- pile figures and give out any definite information. If this is not done it is necessary that the public await the opening of the ballot boxes by the election commissioners some days af- ter the votes are cast.
 But despite the many handicaps the Graphic has gathered enough figures to enable those interested to make estimates that will not be mislead- ing.
 The Arkansas Democrat, published at Little Rock, in commenting on the be!ated returns in Pulaski and other counties of the state, says.
 The complete results of the Ne" England State election are given to the world within "A hours after the poHs close. One only, the smallest ward, of the city of Little Rock has completed thhe count
 No arrangements are made for tAe tabulatiOn of results, and no returns are counted for the information of a waiting and expectant public. Never, before in the days since civilization was alleged to have struck Arkansas has a delay of this nature harassed the mass of voters who wait the whim and will of the election judges ana reluctant county commissiers for an authorized statement on. important is sues of the day.
