Chicago. Sept lj.-Twelve boys. re-

to- day in Lake Michigan, within thirty
feet of the shore. Seventeen others
were thrown into the lake, and four OF
them were rcsuscitated by the use OF

water for some hours. The otner thir-

by four pulmotors. but little hope IS

The tragedy has no parallel IN the
history of Lake Michigan. All but one
of the boys were able TO swim. How
ever. the heavy sea on the lake had
made them Scasick. and when they
were thrown into its chilly waters they
were powerless to save themselves.
The only one of the twenty-nine who
showed "A lighting spirit in the water
gave his chance of life to save the ono
boy who could not swim. He was Chief
Gunner's Mate William Negus, in com
mand of the boat. He tried To reach
shore with the unconscious body OF one

for H. and remained under the water.
He was taken out two hours later and
nut under. the electric pulmotor.
Boys Became Seasck.
The party left the training station
about . o'clock In the afternoon on a
pleasure trip. The water was rough.
and most of the boys were so new to
water experience that they became
seasick after the boat had gone not
more than half a mile from the shore.
Negus WAS in command. He saw
that with half the boys sick and help
less II would be impossible to handle
the boat properly so he put about and
started for the shore. The craft was
sloop rigged, about "a feet long, and
carried mainsail and jib. The boys
who were able TO work hauled down
the sails. in order to present less sur
face TO the storm. Then a few of the
crew took TO the oars and attempted
TO row TO the shore.
The waves were dashing over the
boat and 1t was in danger Of being
swamped at any moment, but Negus
thought he could save the boat as well
as the people In It. When about thirty
feet from the shore he dropped anchor
and dived overheard to see how deep
the water was.
It was less than six feet, but the big
waves dashed over his head to the
.height Of five or six feet. He climbed
back into the boat and told the boys
they would have to swim for the shore
one boy said he could not swim and
Negus took the boy on his back. dived

One feature OF the new corrupt
practices act which was tried out at
the primary election in New Jersey,
was the prohibition of transporting
the voters to the polls.
The bill for carriage hire as cleo
tions and caucuses has been a heavy
burden on candidates. The Republi-
can wagon and the Democratic wa
gon went over the same streets and
roads, and a third the bill would have
been saved if a non-partisan vehicle
could have been hired to cover the
ground without duplication of travel
Of course if the supporters of one
candidate live close to the polling
place, and if the supporters of the
other live at a distance, the inability
of the latter candidate to rally his
strength constitute a serious handicap
In some way this handicap should be
equalized.
The community suffers from the
light vote so frequently cast at e.
lections. An ambitious politician will
hustle about to the saloons and other
loafing places, and assemble a block
of voters who may swing a nomina-
tion or an election, while substantial
and thoughtful citizens are placidly
reading articles at home on "How
to Secure Good Government"
Many OF our most intelligent citi-
zens live a long distance from polling
places on remote country roads. Some
way ought to be found of getting
their vote, without imposing on the
political candidate the expense of
sending a wagon to their front door
for a round trip.
Perhaps some day, instead of all
this expense to bring the voters to
the polls, the polls will be brought
to the voters. Propositions to allow
voting by registered mail have been
suggested, and might form the basis
of a system for getting out the dis
tant voter.

out by voting cart to go about the
country roads. Representatives Of
both parties and candidates could
be taken along to assure fairness.
Anyway in these days when man
needs to be almost a plutOcrat to
run for office, there is need for cut
ting out a lot of costly bills like that
of carting voters.

SWINGING A NAT
IONAL CONVENTION

One of the hudnors of our political
machinery has been the quadren-
NAL effort to control the nominations
of the two great parties by organic
ed rooters in the gallery.
This is an age of system and ef-
ficiency. T he idea of thoroughly
systematizing applause at a national
convention first showed itself at the
Democratic convention in 1892. There
the Cleveland supporters hollered for
% minutes by the watch.
Like any stimulant, the doses Of
applause had to be steadily increased
In 1904 one of the roofing parties
shouted for Sc minutes at the Re
publican convention, which made it
necessary for the gallery crowd to
howl A minutes at the Democratic
convention that followed. In 1908 the
record was again run up TO 49 min
utes
The idea that the deliberations OF
q historic body affecting the daily
bred and butter of the nation, should
be dominated by frenzied mob, mar
Of whom may be hired at days wage
has always aroused an alarmed pro

test. There need not be much anxiety
on that score. Probably the principal
effect Of any prolonged roofing is
to sicken the delegates opposed to
the rooters, and make them even more
determined in their own position.
The one bad feature of the me-
thods of holding these conventions,
is that there is no chance for de-
bate. Only a man with a steam cal
hope voice can make himself heard.
It ought to be possible for any dele
gate to express his views so that MS
fellow delegates could hear him. He
might have something to say that
the whole country will ever after Wish
they had had chance to hear.
The trouble all grows out of the
bad system of permitting the cities
to bid for this convention privilege
as a matter of trade. AS the sue
oessful competitor for this privilege
must put out a big sum of money
for expenses and campaign contribu-
tions, it naturally insists on having
a big hall to attract the greatest mob
possible and thereby get its money
back in hotel and restaurant charges
It is not good business. The u
n'ted States Steel Company would
not hold it's meetings III boiler fac
tory, even if its directors were CIV
en- free board.
