it began to vote
Not until 1S4S did all the states make
their choice of electors on the same
day. Before that some of them would
vote in the latter weeks of October
and others Of varying days up to the
last Of November. Therefore, election
returns as we know them. were impOs-
sfble until "a years ago. There are
nearly a million native born Americans
living today who were old enough to
vote when the present general election
was an unknown institution. Congress
passed a law in 1S45 providing that the
electors should De chosen in all the
states on the same day, and fixing that
day as the Tuesday after the first
Monday of November.
That accounts for the fact that the
1lrsL election bulletins were given out
in 1913, and it was the New Orleans
Plcayune which started the idea. Gen
Zachary Taylor was a LOuisianian and
the people there wanted to know how
things were going Hence the innO-

After the Explosion
BY Eileen Ripert.

~ VERIFYING has been told about
this catastrophe, the ugly hulk
- Of the ship in the roadstead, the
transportation Of the victims. the cries
in the hospital. the mothers who
tainted, the blood and the distress.
L have seen nothing of all this, but
l nave seen the catastrophe bring
darkness to a mothers heart, and this
pain which I saw with my own eyes
haps more terrible bhan any accumu-
lation Of horrors.
The explosion took place at 6 o'clock
IN the morning. 1 had come TO TOulon
at seven from Marseilles and only had
to pass through the city to get a
train on the Southern railroad, which
runs along the coast from TOulOn to
st Raphael I shall not waste any
time describing the appearance of the
city, the groups Of people, the Ques-
tions, the ordinations.
The train, at the fixed time, gave
hoarSe shrek peculiar to the engines
of the railroads in southern France
and we rode through beautiful fields
planted with grains, gardens of palms
and eucalyptus, hillsides covered with
dark green pines. 1t was a perfect
day In September and everything
breathed beauty and happiness. Was
It known in these peaceful fields that
there was a squadron on the roads at
TOulon and that a battleshiD had been
disemboweIed, torn asunder and gone
down into the depths of sea carrying
with il hundreds of young men2
Yes it was known, and alas. found
it out quickly. At the first station the
platform was covered with people
waiting for news. They heard the eX-
plOsion in the morning, but news had
been-sO confused, so contradictory that

nor their names, nor even the battle

among them there were people who
bod sons, fathers. or brothers on board

anxious people, their questions and
the replies of the passengers who
came from TOulon. Everybody spoke
in hushed whispers as in a chamber Of

dialect of Provence

RAISE FOR POLICE
AFTER FIRST YEAR
After Second Year Of Service Another
Raise In Salary Is 10 Be Given
FL Pnan Policemen.


In line with the recommendation made
by police chief J. n. Davis, policemen
who serve in the police department
after the first year, are to receive a
raise. and after two years in service
a further raise, which is to be the
maximum. The amount was not speci-
fired in the recommendation of the
chief to mayor c. T. Kelly.
The proposition Of increasing the
salaries in the police department is in
accordance with the recommendation
to that effect which was contained in
the mayors message delivered TO the
city council some time ago. The mayor
stated that when the yearly budget Of
the different departments was made Up
in April, and enough money was on
hand, the recommendation OF the pO-
lice chief would be carried out.
Among other suggestions made by
the police chief was the installation Of
the Beruuon system of Identification
for the purpose OF assisting the depart
ment in Identifying criminals from
other parts of the country. who it was
stated fOcked to Ell PasO because it
was a convenient place TO jump into
Mexico when too closely pursued.
The different city departments are
now preparing their respective reports
and these viii be delivered to the mayor
when completed

THE DAY AFTER By GEORGE FncH,
i ELECTION Author Of at Good Old Siwasb"

~ all the days that are different
the day after election is the diff
ferentest. There is as much diff
ference between the day before election
and the day after as there is between
electricity and rain water, pandemonium
and tOmbstOnes, or between a man who
Is chasing a train and the same man
after he has inserted himself into the
bosom of a plush seat in the parlor car.
The day before election is stuffed
with enthusiasm, suspense, kindly cour-
tesy, hectic Indignation, anxious friend
illness, kissing scOrn and wild, patriotic
activity. The day after election is a
fiat, gray day composed of despair, in
dignation, Indifference, and exhaustion
in equal parts.
On the day before election a phono-
graph with a dull needle could draw
crowd anywhere BY making a political
speech. On the day after election
Demosthenes on the tariff wouldn't draw
four people away from a patent medicine
advertisement
On the day before election any loyal
party man would stop four hours on his
way home to supper to let a little light
into the dusty garnet Of member of an
other party. On the day after election
he wouldn't go across the street to con
vert a whole ward
The day after election is fun of vain
regrets, wild sorrow, indignant recrimin-
alton and wisdom delayed in transmits
sion. 1t is also fun of solemn, exalted
JOY, breathless triumph and magnificent
vindication. 1t is full, in fact of every
thing but politics. Tt is about the only
day in the year that Is entirely free from
politics. 1t is the one vacation day IN
the year for politicians. Those who
have saved their country take a brief
