VOTING MACHINE "ExPERTs.'

Before a legislative committee when
fs investigating voting machine pur-
chases in Iowa one Of the experts"
who passed on the machines before
they were purchased testified that ne
had never seen a voting machine be-
fore his appointment, and that ne had
secured the job Of expert thru good
offices of the attorney for the company
which was making and selling the par
ticuIar machine which was selected.
This is worth genera. notice The
voting machine is being seriously con-
sidered everywhere for the obvious
reason that q voting machine which
will work accurately nay be depended
upon is much desired and needed at
election time and would be worth any
reasonable cost. Just as soon as the
machine shall be ready for the public

Illinois experts" bought does not, 1t Is

Z This question of expert is not con-
fined to Illinois. or TO any state or To-
cality. I, would be anus!ngto see the

fly of voting machines. say the experts

IN GENERAL AND PARTICULAR.

The Sioux City Journal going care
fully and judicially over the Skaggs-
parole board affair, says excelIenrIy
well:
"on genera! principles Il IS not
wholesome 10 Try parole cases IN the
newspapers. The present case il ex-
ceptional in that It offers IN story form
a human interest problem involving the
very essence Of the parole principle"
There are exceptions 70 eli rules. Also
there Is 10 rule which Should prevent
newspapers from presenting an affair
like that OF Skaggs to tcs readers. This
the newspapers have done very fairly.
Skaggs and MS friends have mad their
day in court and the parole board has
had several thousand word opportunity.
Moreover 1t is one Of the cases as the
Journal points out which affect vitality
system The board and the system are
merely instruments in the hands Of the
public to accomplish a purpose. They
exist by the desire and to carry out the
purposes of the people who are the
state Of Iowa And Il seems to be
within the bounds OF propriety that
they should in extreme cases have the
facts and allegations for and agains:
az accurately as the newspapers can
give them.
Such cases as that of Skaggs are the
making and unmaking Of systems The
interest taken by the great public in
such cases has resulted in great re-
forms. 1t needs the peculiar circum-
stances which group about particular
cases to stir the ordinary citizen &c
interest in the operation Of established
system and usage. It Is thus that he
