EXPANDING THE BALLOT.

In New York. the voters at the re-
cent primaries handled ballots four.
teen feet long, and were bewildered
with mass of names and a multiple
ity of propositions that might well have
bewIldered them in the long array of
names upon which they were to vote.
In Cleveland, Ohio, the voter had seven
ballots, one containing sevcpty,four
candidates, another twelve, another
fourteen, another thirty-two, one on a
bond lssnc, one on a trolley proposi.
ton, and one on park commission.
In Oregon, at the election last year,
the people voted on thirty-two consti.
tutlonal amendments and referendum
proposals for legislation, besides a. long
mass of names for various offices.
The practical tendency, therefore is
for the lengthenine of the ballot and
for the exercise of the voting privil-
ege on an immense number Of cues.
tlons which the voters can hardly. ms
matter of fact, know much about.
The fact that they DO not know much
abont what they are voting upon is
very evident in Oregon where the peo-
pie, under pretense Of vind.cating their
nights, voted to destroy the salmon

Also, when the people voted laws of such
contradictory character with regard TO
the salmon fishing at the mouth of
the Columbia river, that the lepjsla

one sweep wipe out the whole series
of statutes and enact some rational

tieally apply,

oLYMPIAN GAMES RULES.

The keenest sort Of interest in ath.
letic circles is aroused with respect to
the Olympic games which are TO be
held in Stockholm, Sweden, the coming
summer; and the discussion of those
games brings afresh to public atten.
tion the disputes and discomfort that
attended the holding of those games at
London four years ago. At that time.
1T will be remembered, under the intri.
cately interpreted rules Of the local
athletic clubs, good many compcti-
tors were taken at disadvantage.
They did not know the technicalities of
the English rules, and lost accordingly
1t was stated at that time that. as
most of the awards went to Britons
and Americans, it was practically an
A1glo"sa1on competition with the rest
OF the world ruled out, But, as mat
ter Of fact. Americans were about as
badly handicapped rs anybody else
with respect to those English rules, and
because of them, the English competi-
tors hogged' altogether too many
prizes; in fact. the chief wranale was
| against an American, and he was made
to lose. Americans were as keen nro
testers against those rules as any for.
eigners, but their protests were wholly
disregarded.
AT that time, The Tribune suggested
that there ought not to be any more
| Olympic games until a general world
committee had established rules espe
clally for their guidance, without any
regard to athletic rules of the country
or locality in which the games are held
If the Olympic games are to be held at
all. they should be held under general
rules of their own, independent entirely
OF any local custom, traditions, or
regulations. 1t ought not to be difficult
to get up set Of general rules for the
conduct of these games that would be
plain, easy of comprehension, and such
as could be practically applied to every
contest We renew that suggestion
and are confident that it must event.
uaily come to he the practice that the
Olympic games will be conducted under
rules OF their own. This is clearly the
right thing to do. In 80 far as the
ancient rules Of the Olympic games can
be gathered from the accounts of those
games as recorded by the Greeks. those
rules should apply. save only that the
widening of liberty of contestants to
enter is, Of course, necessary, The
prime rule of the old Olympic games
was that every contestant must make
oath that he was of pure Greek blood

COSTLY "RED TAPE

1t is often stated that the workings
Of cred tape for delay. obstruction,
and injustice, are the bane of public
administration, and especially of bu.
reaucratic administration. A curious
case is reported from Germany, how.
ever, an account of which we find in
the Boston Traveller. where the Govern.
ment itself gets very decidedly the
worse of it through the workings of the
rcd-tape bureaucracy. 1T appears that
III last September, conscience stricken
German who had defrauded the Gov
ernment in his taxes. was moved to
send the amount of his gains by that
fraud to the Kaiser. He accordingly
addressed a letter to the Kaiser OK.

ser's palace. but the receiving mail
clerk refused to pay the delivery fee of
five pfennigs. Then there was halt.
and consultations and deliberations
worth in themselves many thousands of
pfennigs- The postal authorities did
not know what could be done with the
pfeDnig. but they finally decided that
the Kaiser could not have the coin till
he paid the fee, and the Kaiser, upon
being personally appealed to, refused
to pay the five pfcnnig fee, Then the
authorities undertook to find who il
was that sent the conscience-monev
with view Of returning it To him and
making him pay the postal expenses
He was not easy to find. They sought
in vain. and finally advertised for him.
Up TO date. they had spent hundred
dollars thousa nds of times as much as
the pfennig that the man of stricken
conscience undertook to return to the
treasury. and still they have not found

1t is probable that no such commo
ton as this would be made over like
case IN this country. The chances are
that the couscienee-money. little or
small would be quietly banded over to
the treasury, and nothing said about
postage fees. That would certainly he
the direct and mOney.ssving way; but
IN Germany the bureaucracy is extreme
lv strict. and no variation from the set
rules is allowed, But the public will
enjoy the Joke on that bureaucracy, and
Will Sbe immensely pleased to see the
discontinue of the bureaucrats
