SQUARING THE BALLOT.

1t has been stated that the official
ballots in New York at the primaries
held Yesterday were changed from the
paper style. That is, in place of 4
ballot being Il roll Of paper Ia
feet long. the ballot viii be made
square, rectangular shape % inches
long and Sc inches wide.
But think Of ballot having column
after column of lists Of names running
from one long row to another, so as to
make sheet considerably larger than
the size of an average newspaper page.
Naturally it is farce TO ask the voter
to pass upon such lists of names. Hun
dreds Of names are carried. and no
voter can possibly know any more than
a mere fraction Of the total number.
Ballots like this simply perpetuatc
the rule Of bosses, of cliques, Of politi-
cal machines. Independent voting is
out Of the question when voter must
almost instantly pass upon such Il
formidable list of names as these. 1t is
hopeless for any voter to expect to do
more than accept the party emblem and
put his name within the party square
and let it go at that That is all that
any voter can do. For an individual to
90 carefully through that list Of names
would require at least an hour for the
average man. For one not expert in
that sort of work. it would be day g
labor to go through and select all can.
didates. But since the voter cannot
possibly know more than a very few of
those whose names are carried i'll the
ballot, he is voting absolutely blindly
and at random.
Ballots like those absolutely kill any
idea of popular rule to be effected by
their use, for the voter is so completely
bewidered that he finds himself with.
out hope Of rescue in the hands of the
bosses, and is obliged to follow their
wishes, because it is impossible for him
to do anything for himself. The maze
created by such a tremendous list of
names as this Is one through which it
is quite hopeless for the voter to ex-
pect TO find his way. He, therefore,
must 90 1T blind and let another hand
guide his mark, Just as a man does
who cannot write and Is obliged TO
make his mark.

NO RULE is KNOWN.

The birth Of baby boy 10 tbe
Duchess Of RoXburghe, formerly Miss
May Goelet Of New York, is attributed
by her to her abstemiousness as 20 food
containing sugar, according TO the IN.
structiops OF Vienna specialist. This
diet. she considers. assured the sex OF
the child, and the theory is that sex
about in this manner
But there is nothing in the theory.
The truth is that ali theories fail in
this matter. although they seem at first
10 be supported by more or less
plausible examples and instances With
regard TO the matter Of sugar. the saw
age nations. both of America and Of
other parts of the world, have no sugar.
and the proportion Of the sexes re-
mains about the same as IN countries
where sugar is known and used An
other theory was that the eating Of
animal foods would unerringlv guide
the sex, so that the babv would be q
boy. Here again the flesh eating ma.
tons of the world disproved the whole
theory. and il had TO be Abandoned
1t is quite certain that the buma
race bas no means OF guidance or
choice in this matter. If il had. there
would doubtless be singular results;
and so while certain theories have
their run from timo TO time the old
world settles back finally TO the same
old conclusion that this is matter
which is entirely beyond their choice

POOR NATIONAL POLICY.

The policy Of the present administra-
ton towards Americans in Mexico is
receiving many hard rubs from the
newspapers Of the United States A.
sample Of these Is the following edi-
torial reference in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Leave Mexico and come to the United

but stay with 1t II you desire and fight

There is no question but that the
position taken by the Wilson admin
tration towards Americans in Mexico
Is absolutely indefensiblo from dipIo.
matte and international standpoint, as
well as from the standpoint Of Ma
tional dignity and duty. This proceed
ure means, if generally applied, and of
course if it is workable principle at
all and worthy of being followed, that
it must be applied not only in Mexico
but in all other countries, and espe-
clally IN al the countries Oh Ientral
and South America. But if it should
be applied generally toward them, how
contemplate the United States would
justly appear in the eyes Of all these
nations
We are firmly opposed TO anything
like intervention in Mexico. We do
not see any justification for the inter
vention that has already been made
automatically, by President Wilson.
We believe In letting the Mcxicans
fight out their quarrels among them
selves, and establish just the sort OF
government that suits them, and that
will represent them to the nations OF
the world, When such n government

our duty to recognize il. We recog

general principle that when govern

have any intercourse whatever with
that country. 1t is only through the

The fact that we have given notice TO

do not intend to try to do so, is the

AUGUST FIRE LOSSES.

In spite of the falling off for some
months Of the present wear in the fire
losses Of this country and Canada,
compared with the previous two years,
the heavy fires Of the past three months
bring the total losses for eight months
up practically to the same old figure.
1t had been hoped from the monthly
reports as they appeared that the peo.
pie of the United States had begun TO
be careful with regard to fires, and that
considerable dimiuutiou might be ex-
pected this year in the fire losses as
compared with previous years. But, as
compared with 1912 especially, the in"
creased losses of the past three months
have brought the total for the eight
months past up about to the old figures,
$3.50, ,537 250, as compared with S163,.
750,350 in 1912 and $l67, ,655 800 IN
1911. This is bad showing indeed.
During the month of August past,
as we learn from the New y ork Journal
Of Commerce, there were 80 fires, each
causing an estimated property damage
of $4,000 or over OF these, 80 caused
loss Of 100000 to 100000, aud IL
caused loss of 100000, and over. The
six heaviest fires OF the month are
