CAN'T BEAT voTE-sTEALERs.

A committee of the Illinois legisla-
ture is conducting an inquiry into the
voting machines used in Chicago and
has brought out some startling testi-
mony-facts which will shatter the be-
lief generally held that frauds are i'm
possible when the voting machine is
| used.
Prof. c. r. De Puy. a mechanical
expert of high attachments, is the man
who showed up the ability Of the me-
~chanical voter" to falsify the returns
when properly manipulated. OF course
the election officials are the ones who
fix the machines to do their bidding,
and the tricks which Professor De Puy
showed could be played with the inten-
tions Of the voters were MANY and
curious. A few bits of very fine wire
and some small rubber bands are all
the apparatus needed to make the
machines register just what the gang
desires, no matter what the intentions
Of the voters themselves might be. and
these wires and bands can be hidden
so cleVerly that even when the manip-'
ulatlon was done right under the eves
of the committee none of them could
locate the tinkered parts until the ex-
pert showed them how.
one example of the possibilities of
fraud shown was that the machines
could be made to add ten out of every
thirty votes to any candidates vote
n a that number from any other
candidate without revealing the fra1d.
There were just nine different villain
les the machine could ~perpetrate under
proper manipulation, and as under the
illinois law the election officials have
Tree and private access to the ma
chimes the chances Of an honest cleo
lion are diminished rather than in
by the use Of the machines.
There seems to be really no method
by which rascals can be deferred from
against the ballot. Just SO long
as the party boss" is in existence.
so long as decent men look lightly
upon the debauching of the electorate
and wink or smile at election frauds
long will the CRATER flourish and
the ballot crook leave his trail of slime
over the cities, states and nation. An
aroused public spirit and a determined
of the laws are the soIa
means of regeneration.

The Theatres
THE EUM.

Everyone was extraordinarily dem
onstratiVe and ap~preciative of each
and every act on the bill of which
there are four headliners at the Or
pheum this week. At the matinee per-
Torrance yesterday after Professor
Coscio's orchestra had played the
Dawn of Freedom and Nora Bayes and
JACK NorWorth's big hit Honeymoon
Lane, the Orpheumscope showed a
funny comedy entitled His Friend the
Undertaken, This vas followed by two
clever Spanish girls, Misses Jean and
Hope ConWaya who have a strong
tense and thrilling act in which there
Is music, dancing and a broad sword
combat. Good looking and well form,
ed, they make a pretty appearance in
their Spanish costumes. Their act is
one of the most sensational Of the sea-
son. their c~leverness in handling the
sword and their dancing is something
new and original.
The next act on the programme was
the Jean King Quartette, two. good
girls and two young men, one Of whom
Is a double for Eugene Cowles. Their
harmony singing is immense singing
as they do everything from the Sex
tette from Lucia to ragtime and do II
well. There is only one thing to criti-
else and that is that their act is too
short. They are followed by The Great
Fretter, n of the three best ventrilo-
GUSTS in vaudeville. During his act
ne walks down, the aisles carrying a
dummy which Is singing a song and
also doing a comedy mind reading
stunt which is quite clever. All the
time he is doing this the audience have
a, close view of his mouth and face but
they can not detect even the slightest,
trace of facial movement.
The last act on the programme Isl
the Imperial Japanese Troupe, three
men and a young lady. The act opens
with a wonderful balancing act and
then some clever ball and stick Jugs
Cling, followed by the young Iady
member of the troupe in a slack wire
act. They close their act with a won-f
derful death -defying slide for life bv
me of the members of the troupe who
slides backwards on his feet on a rope
which runs from the ceiling of the
BACK gallery to the stage.

CAN YOU AFFORD IT2

Ebert Hubbard, in a recent issue
Of The Cosmopolitan magazine had
the following on the drink habit, under
the above caption:
1 hate drunkenness; but l do not
hate the drunkard.
If any man should have our friend
ship 1t Is the man who has failed to
be a friend to himself.
The fact is, the victim of strong
drink often has all the virtues-in-
Guiding high intelligence n a tender,
sympathetic heart-and yet when the
demon drink clutches him, his will Is
paralyzed, and Satan is in the sad
die.
A few weeks ago l visited San
Quentine prison n talked with a
man in the death row. who has since
been hanged.
ut was drink-just drink" he told
me. Il was crazy. l was jealous, and
1 shot her. Then l shot myself. She
died quickly. I recovered to be sent
here. Next week I die. She was a
beautiful, honest, loving wife to me,
but drink had destroyed my reason.''
I said nothing-what could say!
But l realized that the slow, linger-
ing death of a ~drunkard's wife Is no
less tragic than the quick taking off
by knife or pistol.
The worst about strong drink has
never been told. 1t cannot be told
1t escapes the limitations of qua
But / think we err in despising the
drunkard. Our hearts should go out
to him in pity.
A part of his hallucination often Is
that he Is not a ~drunkard. IT can quit
any time" he says. But he who saws
that seldom quits until death stops
his mouth with dust.
Wine Is a mocker, strong drink is
raging; and Whosoeyer Is deceived
thereby is not wise" So said Solo,
mon, 1000 years before Christ.
And the drink problem Is upon us
today just as terrible, just as tragic,
as it was then.
In truth. the danger of drink, to Am
orleans, is more hazardous than to
any other people. We have an in
tensity Of nerves" beyond that Of any
other nation that has ever txisted.
Americans seem to be singularly
sensitive to the harm that the use of
alcoholic drinks inficts.
Alchol is a poison; and the stimuIa-
ton that it produces is one form of
its activity. If continued. the X

and death.
There are human bodies which, in
stead of throwing off alcohol that ig
taken into the system. seemingly catch
and retain 1t. There are taps in the
tissues that hold the toxin; and in
stead of getting rid Of 1t, these taps
set up a fever, a thirst. a vain unrest.
and a mad desire for more drink.
Nature seems to think that If she
can get enough drink into the man the
organs of elimination viii act.
The drink bill Of the world is the
greatest tax that humanity suffers.
But the worst Is not in the cost of the
STUFF originally, but In the loss OF
power which it's use entails.
The chief incentives to indulge in

Summer Hints to
Mothers Who Care
~Seasonable Advice ON the Health
Children in Hot Weather.

Children In Hot Weather.
1t is we'll that mothers be advised
not to over-feed the children during
the hot months No one requires as
much food in summer as in winter.
Feed the children the lighter and more
easily digested foods. See that the
milk is cool and kept away from flies.
Be careful that the fruit is ripe, and
if the child begins to scratch the skin,
indicating too much acid in the blood,
deprive it of fruit for several days.
1t is quite natural that under these
conditions there will be come diges-
tive disturbance, such as constipation,
indigestion or summer d~iarrhoea. 1t
may be accompanied by a cold or by
eruptions Of the skin. The timely rem
edy, and one which you can rely on
for results, is a small dose of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin on retiring, n
by morning the bowels will move and
the trouble will vanish. The excep-
tiona tonic ingredients in this rem
edy will tone the stomach and enrich
the blood, and the child will feel it's
usual self again.
Many families like that of Mr.. VIII
liam Weber, 20 Edwin Place, Buffalo,

and constipation, and Mrs. John Wal
lace, Scottsville, KY, who finds it val

Ambassador Gerard,s Sarcasm.

New York Sun: Justice Gerard says
that he will suggest a bill to congress
providing hat Americans over the age
Of IS who have been abroad an aggre-
gate of three months must register and
pay an annual fee of $40 such fees to
go toward h maintenance of the en-
bassy; and that failure to register be
considered abandonment of citizen
ship We can imagine the favorable
reception with which this proposal will
be met in the Latin quarter, where
SO francs seem to an artist at the
end of the year like a guaranteed
sinking fund. Fifty francs! Why they
would pay for paint tubes, cigarettes
and bouillabaisse for six months.
And if the art student does not pay,
he forfeits his citizenship. Constitu-
tiona1 rights often appear cheap these
onward days but never have we seen
them held as low as a $40 bill before.
Of course Justice Gerard's proposal
is a fine piece Of satire on his liberal
country. ..

TUESDAY, AUG. IL, 1918.
THE MINoT RUMPUS.

Very little sympathy is being ex-
organizing to force the farmers in that
section of the state to pay outrageous
prices for labor. The /. w. w. has
gained a very unenviable reputation.
This is the same organization that,
during the strike in the textile dis
tricts Of the east, went through the
streets waving a red flag and carry
ing a banner with this inscription:
"No>God, no master"
1t nov comes to light that this
campaign at Minot was originated at
Duluth, and that men were sent to
Minot for the express purpose Of
organizing the drifting transient labor
element "for higher wages than ever
paid before"
Minot has long had some very radi-
cal socialists, and it is said that many
farmers in that section have embraced
their doctrines. 1t is probable that
this effort on the part Of the I. w. w.
to "~organize' the transient labor ele-
ment to the greater detriment of the
farmer, who is already harrassed by
the labor problem, will open the eyes
Of sue farmers as have followed the
teachings Of the socialist paper there.
The farmers in that section seem
to be between the devil and the deep
blue ocea Not only are the labor
ing men organizing for high wages in
the fields, but the threshing machine
owners are organized thoroughly and
the farmer must pay the price they
set.
No one denies labor the right to
organize for it's own protection, but
the Industrial Workers of IN World,
have gone further than any other
organization Of the rights of labor"
They make this vital mistake. They
say that labor produces everything,
which is an absolutely untrue and
false doctrine. Labor would not
amount to anything were it not direct
ed by brains, and the 1. w. w. are
unwilling to cOncede brains any place
in their scheme.
There is no place in North Dakota
for the Industrial Workers of the
World. The farmer can be independ-
ent Of them, when the farmer organic
ed for his own protection. And that
is just what such affairs as the Minot
fiasco will force the farmers to do.
