SYSTEMATIZE ELECTION RETURNS


The need of a good law to compel
judges and clerks to count election
ballots and report results of the many
county precincts to the county seat OF
each county within twenty-four hours
at least after the polls are closed on
election day, is being forcibly present
ed to the people of this state at this
time.
Two years ago the Little Rock Ga
'Nette, the Graphic and other newspa-
pers urged the enactment of legisla-
ton that would do away with the I'M
satisfactory manner of handling cleo
ton returns and that, if properly
drawn, would so perfectly systematic
the work of compiling returns that it
would be possible to give the grand
totals from all over the state within a
few hours after the closing of the
polling places on election night.
More than forty-eight hours has
elapsed since the primary election
was held in this state for governor
The returns from many counties are
incomplete and from few Of them no
satisfactory reports have been receiv-
ed, notwithstanding the long period
that has interviewed since election day
Arkansas needs an effective law,
regulating election returns and pro-
viding penalty for the failure OF
judges and clerks to perform their
work promptly and Systematically.
Such law can make the election
returns uniform all over the state and
would be OF great assistance to the
press as we'll as a great relief to an
anxious public. By delaying the re
turns in various counties, as now
seems to be the case, the judges and
clerks create suspicion against the
people within the confines OF their
respective counties and their many
voting precincts. Although it is gen
orally admitted that Judge Hays ma
jOrity is sufficient to insure his cleo
turns had ben spent in Systematically
and promptly there would now be no
occasion for suspicion nor criticism.
The newspaper men of Arkansas,
who are always working for ll.e best
interests OF the people - tniS state,
should get together and frame a law
that would remedy the election evil.
No set OF men, not even experienced
politicians, are more capable Of pre-
pairing the rules ana regulations that
should be embodied in the proposed
legislation. The average newspaper
man knows more about gathering and
compiling election returns than doz-
en- politicians or legislators. They
know where to get them, how to get
them and how to promptly give out
the grand totals-but they must have
have the cooperation of the judges
and clerks-and it seems that the only
way they can get it is to force them
to cooperate through legislative act
The Graphic has advocated such d
law before. 1t was taken up by this
paper and the Gazette two years ago
but unfortunately, the matter was moi
pushed at the last session of the leg
islature and now the inconvenience is
again felt.

Whereupon the steel gang would
laugh and the high priest thereof would
climb casually to the top Of a steel
column on the 18th story and stand
carelessly scratching his left ear with
his right leg while the earth reeled by
200 feet below him.
The life of the steel gang is a happy
one and free from care. This is because
the members are not interrupted at
their work. The toiler who is trying
to set a beam on an even keel $50 feet
above an unusually hard pavement does
not have to stop and entertain a friend
who has dropped up to murder a spare
half hour. He is not pestered by book
agents and the little girl who is getting
100000 subscriptions to a local paper
in order to win Shetland pony looks
at him sadly from below and passes by.
His life is one round of airy bliss, and
when the quitting whistle blows he ships
downward with regret. SO long as a
man is a member in good standing of
the steel gang life is sweet to him, and
he takes it seasoned with star dust and
cloud cocktails. But when he loses his
standing the result is most regrettable
and his comrades knock off work for
the rest of the day and discuss the mys-
teries of gravitation with hushed and
tear-stained voices.-COpyright by

w cided to build a building that
will stick up into the zenith for
an eighth of a mile and seriously inter
fere with a clear view of the dog star
from all angles, it sends for the steel
gang.
The steel gang is not noted for its
beauty The men have large red hands
and prehensile feet, and they do not
shave every morning before coming to
work. They are usually deficient in
education and don't know a logarythm
from beneficent microbe. But in the
art of handling trainloads of steel beams
and girders and standing them on end
they have no rivals.
Most men could help nObly WI the
steel gang while it was getting the first
floor columns for 54-story zenith stab
Der. They would ride the steel with
glee and shin up a column to the dizzy
! height of II feet without a thought of
the awful consequences that would ensue
should the earth suddenly come up and
attack them from the rear.
But later on the amateur would be-
come pale and thoughtful; and at about
the third story he would resign his posi-
ton, owing to Indigestion or illness at
home, and climb carefully down holding
on to the earth for support after he
had got there.
